Fall Events

As tiny acorns and orange, yellow, red leaves of all sizes carpet the ground, autumn nudges Tennessee, and her response is magnificent. Traverse a Tennessee trail and take in a kaleidoscope of festivals and fall events. The stage is set for all five senses to experience what Tennessee has to offer in the glorious fall.

Open a new window to appreciate the harvest of arts and crafts, among them: silver smithing, pottery, whittling, broommaking, quilting, painting, stained glass and basketry. Observe heritage craftspeople demonstrating primitive craft firsthand, while picking up some remembrances to take home. Take a bite of Tennessee's agricultural heritage at food festivals, where taste takes a front row seat. Fall's harvest festivals dot the colorful landscape with endless opportunities for fun.

For something a little different, take a look at our featured festivals this autumn. Lift a stein and nibble a wurst at Oktoberfests that celebrate the German heritage of many communities. At a Native American gathering, experience the songs, stories and traditional dance that perpetuate the history and culture of tribes. Take home a remarkable, original piece of handmade beauty. Finally, transport yourself to another time, place or attitude with our road festivals, where antique cars, hot air balloons and everything in between will catch your fancy.

Veterans Day is just around the corner, with numerous events statewide tho honor those who serve. Check back soon for updated event lists.
